Draw Near to God, Books 1-9
My Books Of Topical Scripture Studies

This is a series of books presenting Bible studies which I did over many, many years of searching God's Word. I would become interested in learning more about what God said on a specific topic, and then spend time searching Scriptures on that topic. This helped me learn about what God is like, what He thinks, and what commands He gives us to help us live the blessed life He has for His people.

Often I would be in the midst of reading a Scripture verse and find that one particular word or idea would stand out to me. I felt God was "highlighting" that idea so I would study more about it. I loved doing this. I learned so much and was very blessed as I did it.

I would suggest the reader take one topic of particular interest to you, and read slowly and carefully each Scripture given on that topic. Then follow whatever the Lord leads you to do. I found He would give me thoughts and ideas when I read His Word, and He prompted me to pay attention to those thoughts from Him. I wrote them down in my journal.

I do not give all the Scriptures available on each topic, so you could do more extensive study on your own and add those Scriptures to your own topical Bible study book.

Many, many times over the years I found it helpful to review the study on a particular topic, so keeping these studies on my computer was very beneficial to me.

The topics are in alphabetical order beginning in Book 1 and continuing through all the books in this series. In the last book I added studies which I completed after I had already written where it would have been listed in alphabetical order.
